3.1.7.2. Designing with the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP for Avalon-ST Single Device Configuration

This section describes the procedures on how to use the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP.

To target a MAX® II, MAX® V, or MAX® 10 device requires the use of Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software whereas targeting a Stratix® 10 requires Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.

The process of creating the Avalon-ST single device configuration design targeting a MAX® II, MAX® V, or MAX® 10 device involves three steps.
  1. Generate the AVST design for the MAX® device with the default option address.
  2. Create the Stratix® 10 .pof file in setting the appropriate option bits.
  3. Regenerate the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP with the option bits used to generate the Stratix® 10 .pof file and recompile the MAX® 10 design.

You can find a MAX® V system design example that implements the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP for AVST x16 configuration mode in the installer package of the Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit.

Figure 29. Process for Using the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP Figure shows the process for using the Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP, using MAX® II as an example.
